Books that brought you to tears
July 7, 2014 at 12:45 am (This post was last modified: July 7, 2014 at 12:52 am by Mudhammam.)
I'm almost finished with my second book by Hermann Hesse, Narcissus and Goldmund, and like the first book I read by him, Siddhartha, there are moments when his prose literally brings me to tears. He has a way of describing life in his characters' journeys that evoke a nostalgic sense of joy, discovery, pain, and loss. I'd highly recommend him. Another book that comes to mind is Orwell's 1984. What books played on your heart strings?
